Very quiet and cosy hotel in Gainsborough. Didn't eat there, as was visiting relatives, but it's got a good reputation in the town. Book if staying, and note the restaurant closes an Sunday evening but the hotel is still open.

We recently attended an 80’s Themed party at this establishment and aside from the DJ and music, it was hugely underwhelming. For the price of the tickets, you were given a one-course buffet which can only really be described as “greasy slop”. Not least, this was served to the paying customers from the toilet entrance - gross. There were no themed decorations anywhere and aside from one or two people in actual fancy dress, you’d have never known it was and 80’s themed party. The food system was chaotic and confusing with no clear process for being fed, and upon pointing this out to “ the owner” she was exceptionally rude saying “if you don’t like it you can leave”. Some training in customer service is clearly needed here. Massively overpriced for what you actually got in terms of an experience and especially the food with many patrons mentioning the “fishy smelling pasta” confused with Mac & Cheese. No food labels or menu so you had no idea what you were getting on your plate. Might be OK if you’re after cheap and cheerful for a place to stay but if you want quality and experience, best to avoid. For the price of a ticket, you can easily get two good courses in a decent quality restaurant and have good table service.

We recently stayed at this hotel for 3 nights. The room which we stayed in was a very good size with a separate bathroom, bath and walk in shower. The food is incredible and priced right. The staff in this hotel are amazing and very helpful and go the extra mile without question. One member of staff that stands out is a lady called Phillipa, outstanding and so helpful. The hotel has a wonderful garden where you can sit with a book or a glass.....or both. I seriously can't recommend this wonderful hotel enough....simply the best

I stayed here for 3 days, whilst working in the area. The couple that own Hickman Hill are so accommodating, attentive, First night, I had the Slow braised lamb shoulder. Well presented, wrapped in parma ham, with a rosemary flavoured mash and an insane tasting gravy, OMG it was unbelievable. Night 2, I tried the seared mackerel on roast vine tomatoes. check the photo's, amazing!! Night 3, I Bruschetta topped with garlic chicken, guacamole, Parmesan shavings and sweet chilli. once again, just check the photo's. I've tried loads of restaurants in this area, but nothing comes close to this, what a top class restaurant this is. Well done to a most amazing chef !! Can't wait for my next visit !!!
